Abstract
A trampoline comprises multiple movement sensors associated with one or more parts of the trampoline which move when the trampoline is bounced on by a user such as the trampoline mat, and an electrical wiring loom which connects to the movement sensors to a controller or a common connector at another end of the wiring loom. Various sensor mount and wiring loom options are described.
Claims27
A trampoline comprising multiple movement sensors associated with one or more parts of the trampoline which move when the trampoline is bounced on by a user, which provide an electrical signal indicative of bouncing on the trampoline, and an electrical wiring loom which connects to the movement sensors at one or more sensor ends of the wiring loom or comprises multiple sensor connectors which connect to the multiple movement sensors, and extends from the multiple movement sensors or sensor connectors to a controller or a common connector at another end of the wiring loom, the wiring loom comprising either a single wiring loom branch routed at or near a periphery of the mat to said multiple movement sensors or movement sensor connectors, or a first wiring loom branch to two or more movement sensors or sensor connectors and a second wiring loom branch to two or more other movement sensors or sensor connectors.

A trampoline electrical wiring loom system comprising:
- a wiring loom
- multiple movement sensors attached and electrically connected to the wiring loom by a plastics material encapsulation of said sensor, to provide an electrical signal indicative of bouncing on the trampoline when attached to a part or parts of the trampoline which move when the trampoline is bounced on by a user, and
- a controller or a common connector at an end of the wiring loom.

A trampoline electrical wiring loom system comprising:
- a wiring loom
- multiple movement sensors attached and electrically connected to the wiring loom, to provide an electrical signal indicative of bouncing on the trampoline when attached to a part or parts of the trampoline which move when the trampoline is bounced on by a user,
- mounts for attaching the multiple movement sensors to a mat of the trampoline, each mount comprising a topside mount part and an underside mount part adapted to be fixed together through the trampoline mat to mount the movement sensor to the trampoline mat, and
- a controller or a common connector at an end of the wiring loom.
